Look under the hood of your truck.
If the ICP is under the turbo near the fire wall, as shown here, you have a early build.
If the ICP is in the right valve cover, as shown here, then you have a "late" build. (bottom of the picture, red/orange thing under the hot turbo discharge pipe)

Check the VIN tag on the door. If it's built March 04 someone has replaced the motor if your ICP is under the turbo.

Ford part# 4C3Z-9F838-AA
Navistar part# 1845428C92
These are the latest I have and should fit 04 from 9/22/03 up to 07 trucks

Whopps, for some reason I had it in my head his was built March '03. NC you're right. Mine was built about 6 months earlier than the OP's.

Got the parts and will attempt the fix tomorrow when I have a little more time. Yep, valve cover is right. I take it the new harness is a splice off of the old, am I correct? Also why do Ford dealers have varied pricing on these parts? I went a little farther and got the set-up for almost $50 less. Seems weird.

Just curious, but why are you replacing the ICP? They don't often go bad on the later model trucks, at least that I've heard. Any particular code?

Yep, I had that code too and the new sensor fixed it.

Not really sure exactly what the 03 ICP screws into.

It would have to be a damn good hard line. Remember it has to withstand 4000 psi. That would be readily doable though with a little research. The replacement plug-ins come with a fair length of wiring IIRC.
